ROGUE RIVER

The ROGUE RIVER event returns to Spokane, Washington on September 19th, offering a unique endurance challenge for runners and ruckers alike. This year's race continues in the spirit of Phase One Training Grounds, taking place across multiple areas within Spokane including Riverside State Park and Mt Spokane State Park.
Participants can expect diverse terrain that ranges from rugged trails to scenic park paths, providing both physical and mental challenges throughout their journey. The event’s course is designed to test navigational skills as well; runners must download a GPX file provided by the race director during pre-race week and use it with Gaia GPS on their phones for self-navigation.
ROGUE RIVER has been an annual tradition since its inception, drawing participants from across the region who are eager to push their limits in this unique endurance challenge. The event supports Tailwind Nutrition as its official liquid nutrition sponsor, offering Endurance Fuel at aid stations throughout the course. This race is more than just a run; it’s part of a broader mission to train for adversity and resilience.
The ROGUE RIVER venue offers runners multiple routes: a 30-mile loop around Riverside State Park and two options on a shorter nine-mile out-and-back route, one as a ruck event. The terrain features firm trails with slightly soft surfaces that are likely familiar to those who have trained in the local parks.
Aid stations are strategically placed along each course, providing essential hydration and nutrition support for participants. These include Endurance Fuel by Tailwind Nutrition, NeverSecond 30g carb gels, as well as water and snacks at each stop. The weather forecast indicates average temperatures around 18.6°C with minimal precipitation risk during the race.
